To the Editor: The authors of the 3
articles1- 3 and the editorial4 that addressed
infant sleep position seem to make 2 common assumptions. First is that
parents "put" infants to sleep in a certain position. Few infants
stay in 1 position once they are "put" to sleep, unless of course
they are restrained, such as with tight swaddling. Most infants move
during sleep, and when left unrestrained even newborns can change head
position and move from side to back or from side to front.
